Gurus,
I'm looking for your advice.
My DEC 3000 gave me a POST NVR error and after trying all the steps to fix it (reseating
boards, memory, etc...) it looks like the RTC (DALLAS DS12871A) has died.
Searching on line I found some places marketing a replacement for DS1287 for old PC's
but not sure if any would work for DEC given it had an A at the end in the model number
(different pins etc...)
Given that this sounds like a common problem on early VAXen, I was wondering if of you
have some recommendations on a good source to purchase a replacement RTC that will work
with DEC equipment.
Thanks much!
Mike
